For business owners
A complete guide to selling a company in Spain: valuation, process, tax implications and options by sector and region. Blue Mountain is a direct buyer — no intermediaries, no fees.
Thousands of Spanish middle-market companies change hands every year, yet most owners only go through the process once in their lifetime. The information asymmetry between buyer and seller is enormous: while professional buyers have participated in dozens of transactions, the owner is navigating the process for the first time.
This page brings together all the knowledge we have accumulated across more than 200 transactions: from how a company is valued to the taxes involved, the most common mistakes, and the special situations that complicate the process.
Blue Mountain Capital is a Spanish family office that buys companies directly, with no private equity fund behind it and no divestment deadline. When we acquire a company, we do so to keep it and grow it for the long term.

The buyer
Blue Mountain Capital is a family office with over fifteen years of activity in the Spanish business landscape. We are not a private equity fund with a fixed divestment timeline: we buy companies to keep them, get operationally involved, and grow the business alongside the existing team.
We invest in companies with revenues between €2m and €30m, positive EBITDA and a capable management team. The sector matters less than the strength of the business model. We have acquired companies across technology, industry, distribution, services and construction, among other sectors.
We operate with own capital, which means we can move quickly and with certainty: we do not need investment committee approvals or external financing to close a deal.
